HighDPI: Using QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=PassThrough with fractional scaling yields cosmetic issues

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      My setup is as follows:

      Windows10
      Monitor 1: 3840x2160 resolution, 150% scaling
      Monitor 2: 1920x1200 resolution, 100% scaling

      Using the QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=PassThrough causes issues on both monitors. Mostly it has to do with rendering/painting of simple widget controls. I ran into these issues while using the Assistant and Designer applications. The issues include the following:

       

      1. Focus around QLineEdit controls (see attachment)
      2. Hovering over QPushButton controls (see attachment)
      3. QCheckBox is bigger than it needs to be (see attachment)
      4. Checkmark in a QCheckBox looks fuzzy (see attachment) (on both monitors)
      5. Arrows in QComboBox controls looks fuzzy (see attachment) (on both monitors)
      6. Fonts on the native QFileDialog do not respect scaling (see attachment) (on both monitors)
      7. Designer MDI Child window's close and minimize buttons are not properly resized when the application is moved from Monitor 1 to Monitor 2

       

      After more testing, it appears similar issues exist with rendering controls when using Ceil, Round, Floor and RoundPreferFloor values for QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY. Also, turning on the "Fix scaling for apps" option on Windows 10 causes additional scaling issues.
